Elios was founded in 1977 in response to Morosini's friends' requests and competition divers for a wetsuit like the ones he made for himself. Originally a tailor by trade, and too poor to buy a wetsuit off-the-shelf at the time, Morosini sourced leftover neoprene material from manufacturers to create his own wetsuits.

He continued to refine his tailoring approach, establishing a tradition of constant improvement for the team today. As word spread among the worldwide diving community, Elios became the go-to brand for those who take their adventures in the water seriously.

The craftsmanship behind the perfect cut of Elios suits is a closely-held secret. Today specialist tailors continue to create suits of exceptional quality for the same family business, working with trusted distributors such as Elios Australia to provide local support.
